Known as Tennessee’s Oldest Marathon, beginning in 1972, the Andrew Jackson Marathon starts and finishes in historic downtown Jackson, April 3, 2021.

The race benefits the Carl Perkins Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse. The course takes runners through the renovated downtown area, beside the University of Memphis Lambuth Campus Arboretum, along tree-lined residential neighborhoods and around the medical center area with challenging hills and great new landscapes.

The course offers a half marathon single loop (13.1 miles) and a full marathon double loop (26.2 miles), which makes for an awesome Boston Marathon Qualifier. Join us on the course and cheer on the runners!
